CSS 308S

High-efficiency stainless steel electrode

Product description

High-efficiency (160%) rutilo-basic-coated synthetic electrode depositing 19%Cr – 9%Ni stainless steel. Smooth melting without spattering, good slag release and finely ribbed concave bead. Used when high deposition rates are required.

Use on steels of identical grade (18/8 type): tubes, tanks, stainless steel boilers.
